SUMMARY STATEMENT:
During Fall 2016, City staff was approached by Mark Russell and Tom and Edie Welty about the desire for gravel roads within their neighborhood to be paved (Flynn, Balshae, Conifer, and
Chipmunk). Staff explained that one option the neighborhood had was to form a Local Improvement District (LID). To better understand the concept level costs for undertaking this LID,
on December 1, 2016, City Council authorized Public Works to use excess FY16 LOT (tourism) to fund Horrocks Engineers to complete a preliminary engineering analysis and cost estimate
for paving and ROW improvements for the above mentioned rights-of-way. Horrocks completed their analysis during the Summer 2017 which includes an evaluation of existing and needed water
and sewer services for each lot within the study area with the intention that needed services would be installed as part of the paving project to minimize future street cuts.
During the summer, Mr. Russel and the Weltys continued communication with the neighborhood regarding the idea of forming an LID. As a result, they sent a formal invitation to all affected
property owners for a meeting that was held on September 1, 2017 to evaluate group interest in forming an LID and review the cost estimates prepared by the City. Mr. Russell and the
Welty’s moderated the meeting and City staff (Public Works Director, Finance Director, and Interim City Manager) attended to respond to the public’s questions regarding the engineering
analysis, the City’s maintenance costs for gravel and paved roads, and the LID process. Mr. Russell and the Welty’s have requested the opportunity to speak to the City Council about
the results of their neighborhood meeting and discuss opportunities, moving forward, to facilitate getting the gravel roads in their neighborhood paved.
The cost estimates for each street, a site plan prepared by the GIS department summarizing the utility service needs for each lot, and the formal meeting invitation sent by Mr. Russel
and the Weltys are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: For discussion only.
